Preharvest Foliar Application of Ascorbic Acid Improves Growth, Yield, and Postharvest Quality of Broccoli ( Brassica oleracea var. italica)
Broccoli is a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Unfortunately, its shelf life is limited due to physicochemical losses and microbiological degradation. Therefore, the present research aimed to determine the efficacy of ascorbic acid (0, 100, 200, and 300 mg L −1 ) as a preharvest foliar spray for im...
